ICS410 GISCP Book 410.1
Study
Control Systems
A device, or set of devices, that manages, commands, directs or regulates the behavior of other
devices or systems
Example of a Control System
Thermostats
What are the 4 main ICS process Models
Discrete
Batch
Continuous
Hybrid
What are Discrete Processes
Processes where a specified qty of material moves as a unit between workstations, and each unit
maintains its unique ID
Discrete Process Example
Robotic Assembly in automotive Production
What are Batch Processes?
Some applications require specific quantities of raw materials be combined in specific ways for
particular durations to produce an intermediate or end result
Batch Process Example
Production of glues that require mixing of raw materials in a heated vessel for a period of time to
form a quantity of end product
What are Continuous Processes
Often represented through variables that are smooth and uninterrupted in time, such as constant
cooling of water temp in a heating jacket.
What are Hybrid Processes
Combo of ICS Process Models
What is the Purdue Enterprise Reference Architecture (PERA)?
One of the first reference architectures for industrial control networks
What are the 5 levels of the PERA?
4: Business Network
3: Plant-wide control
2: Individual process/cell/line Supervisory
, 1: Individual process/cell/line controllers
0: Individual process/cell/line sensors and actuators
Process Engineer
